Professional Overview
Hello! I'm Hallie, an Italian raised Californian transplant, and a recent retiree from an 18-year-long professional swimming career. I had the opportunity to compete at the Division 1 level for two schools, which blessed me with an unparalleled educational experience. My academic and athletic pursuits led me to the University of South Carolina from 2018 to 2020 where I achieved an All American title, and later to the University of Southern California where Los Angeles became a second home to me in the States. For the moment, I'm based in Miami, Florida, continuing my lifelong passion for travel and exploration.I'm currently on an exciting educational journey studying Applied Artificial Intelligence at the University of San Diego, while developing a deep fascination with the convergence of AI and blockchain technology. Recently, I have been developing my Java skills and exploring the core concepts of blockchain, with a focus on smart contract development, Chainlink oracles, and Brownie. In the coming months, my goal is to become proficient in Solidity and gain a deeper understanding of how off-chain AI processes can inform and trigger smart contract actions on-chain.
